Feintuch’s appointment was announced during the network’s annual general meeting in Venice, Italy, where the network’s new board was elected.
Feintuch, who’s been a member of PRWA since the early 2000s and has served on its board for more than a decade, had held the board title of vice chairman since 2013.
“Organizations like the PR World Alliance help to level the playing field between the giant-sized, better resourced firms and the smaller independent shops, focused on providing senior talent to client business and in need of localized support in key world markets,” Feintuch told O’Dwyer’s. “Now, as our organization restructures to provide more services to our members and admit more partners from around the world, it’s my privilege to give back in my new role as CFO.”
PRWA also appointed board member Catherine Kablé, a managing partner at Paris-based agency Kablé Communication, to the role of incoming chairwoman. Kablé succeeds outgoing chairwoman Perran Ersu Ozcaldiran, president of Istanbul’s Persona PR, who will now hold the title of vice chairwoman. Board member Lars-Ola Nordqvist, president of Stockholm-based agency Comvision, has been named secretary, and Christian Josephi, president of Stuttgart, Germany’s Panama PR, has been appointed director:
